SMART Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against NextWindow

smart-technologies-inc-logo-0213SMART Technologies has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against NextWindow Ltd. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, to enforce SMART’s Digital Vision Touch (“DViT”) technology patent portfolio. In its complaint, SMART alleges NextWindow has infringed several of SMART’s DViT technology patents.  SMART is seeking an unspecified amount of damages as well as injunctive relief against NextWindow to prevent the importation and sale of infringing products in the United States.

SMART’s DViT technology enables cost-effective touch for a wide range of touch-enabled devices, including flat panel displays and computer screens. Over a considerable number of years, SMART has been actively filing patent applications and obtaining patents in the United States and globally to protect its intellectual property related to touch technologies, including DViT technology, and proprietary aspects of other technologies.  These patent applications and issued patents form the basis for an active IP licensing program at SMART for its technology portfolios.
